There is a sailing race down a river which flows at 10 km/h. - On the first day the wind relative to the ground blows at 10 km/h parallel to the river in the downstream direction. - On the second day there is no wind relative to the ground. During which day can the sailboats make faster progress down the river? Last edited: Feb 13, 2021

's sailing puzzle is the second day. (I've done a little sailing, and to head into the direction the wind is coming from, you zigzag toward the destination). Last edited: Feb 13, 2021
